Cliché

22.30 | We talked about some cliché moments in my film class today.

The dictionary defines it as a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse.

I have been thinking about a cliché saying lately. It is the one when your friend says to you, "don't worry, some day you will find the perfect person and it will catch you by surprise," or "they're plenty of fish in the sea."

I have found that to become a cliché saying. I think it has lost its value. I have caught myself saying that kind of stuff to other people too. Now I don't like saying it because I don't like hearing it.

That's about it. Hopefully this is another one of those blogs where the comments go on longer than the actual blog. (hint hint, wink wink)
